[Twisted-Python] how to delay the response in the protocol.Protocol
In the protocol derived class and dataReceived function, I need to send response with given delay using self.transport.write(str(msg)). I guess I would use "maybeDeferred" class to do that. How to pass the delay value. Please advice, A.

how about reactor.callLater(delay, self.transport.write, str(msg))? -w

Will try that but this assumes that you know msg at point of handling the dataReceived. The hidden part of my question is that I would like to deffer/delay processing the dataReceived in general becasue of a few design reasons. This is why I asked about that Deffered. I learn Twisted, so sorry for simple question. Want to have most Pythonic/Twisthonic solution. Thx, A.

Well, then you'd do the same sort of thing: reactor.callLater(delay, self.processDataAndSend, data)

No need to apologize. Deferreds are not what you are after, they represent data that will be available at some undefined but hopefully bounded time in the future. They're note used for scheduling in the sense that you are talking about. Cheers, -w

No, you'd use callLater(delay, self.transport.write, str(msg)) -bob
